Call option is purchased as speculative investment. So, it will be measured at fair value/ mark to market value on balance sheet.

Value of call option = Intrinsic value + Time Value,

Intrinsic value of call option = Max (Spot price - Strike price, 0)

Hence value of call option = Max (Spot price - Strike price, 0) + Time Value

a. September 30,2020: Spot price = $ 18 and Time value = $ 150

Option value on balance sheet = Max ($18 - $20,0)* number of shares + $ 150 = 0 + $ 150 = $ 150

b. Loss in time value = Time value as of September - time value as of December

= $ 150 - $ 90 = $ 60

c. December 31,2020: Spot price = $ 22 and Time value = $ 90

Option value on balance sheet = Max ($22 - $20,0) * number of shares + $ 90

= $ 2 * 100 + $ 90 = $ 290
